It is technically possible that I will be home for Christmas
Although unlikely
Theoretically it could happen, but I usually miss it
So don’t plan on me
A blinding house, a tree decked out
A snowman on the lawn, but I’ll be gone
Singing strangers songs
Nameless cities and icy windows, muddy grey on the off-ramp
Missed call blinking light
Spending hours on autopilot, singing lyrics that I have
Sang too many times
A cookie trey, a light display
But someone isn’t there, the stuffing stares
At an empty chair
Searching for a rhyme, some forgotten line
Gotta get the product out on time
Massive sold out crowd, deafeningly loud
But none of them are who I need right now
Some mistletoe with lips below
Are watching on TV so they can see me
Rocking New Year’s Eve
